BBC News – Kit Kat biscuits to go Fairtrade in the new year: “”

Kit Kat, Britain’s biggest-selling chocolate biscuit, will bear the Fairtrade logo from mid-January.

The biscuits, made by Nestle in York, have been Fairtrade certified, with more than 6,000 farmers in west Africa, set to get a better price for cocoa.

About one billion Kits Kats are sold in the UK every year and Nestle said it was committed to helping cocoa farmers.

The Fairtrade mark already appears on more than 4,500 products in the UK but campaigners hope more will follow.
